Legal Question in Medical Leave in California
Common Law Marrage
In reading through the Family Medical Leave Act Booklet it states that a Common Law spouse is considered ''Family''. As long as the State they reside in allows for ''Common Law Marrages''. Is California one of those states?

Re: Common Law Marrage
There is no Common Law Marriage in California, however California does recognize Common Law Marriages that would be considered valid according to another States laws.
